Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Ebselen is an interesting organoselenium compound displaying antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ebselen is shown to inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) enzymes in the absence of glutathione. Ebselen also inhibits Cox (cyclooxygenase), PKC (protein kinase C), DECR1 (NADPH), and Mox-1 (NADPH oxidase). The oxidation of low density lipoproteins by free radicals is suppressed by the antioxidant action of Ebselen. Ebselen is an inhibitor of Cox-1, Cox-2, NOS, GST and IDO. An inhibitor of 5-LO, 15-LO, Cox, NADPH, and NADPH oxidase.
application：
Ebselen has been used as a:voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) blocker；glutathione peroxidase mimetic to test its inhibitory effect on contraction-mediated deoxy glucose (2-DG) uptake in mouse；extensor digitorum longus (fast-twitch) muscle
glucocerebrosidase inhibitor；hepatitis C virus helicase inhibitor
